Five steps to adoption: How to adopt a dog from an animal shelter. 80 percent of German animal shelters are currently no longer able to accept dogs from private individuals.
Animals purchased carelessly during the corona pandemic no longer fit into people's normal everyday lives. If you want to adopt, it's best to first check the local animal shelter's website. If the animal shelter staff give the green light, you can take the dog into your home for a nominal fee. The fee is only a very small part of the shelter costs and is primarily intended to prevent ill-advised purchases.
